“…Likewise, in another study, while grandiose narcissism significantly and negatively predicted verbal intelligence scores, excessive overconfidence in mental abilities still remained present (Littrell, Fugelsang & Risko, 2020). Executive functions also appear to be deficient in narcissistic individuals (Nenadić, 2021). From a brain science standpoint, since early adverse events are implicated in the pathogenesis of narcissism, it is very likely that these experiences lead to adverse cognitive consequences.…”

Mustafa Kemal Atatürk (1881–1938) was the founder of the modern-day Turkish Republic. Although much has been published about his life, only one biography adopted a psychological/psychoanalytic perspective. The authors Vamık Volkan and Norman Itzkowitz argued that the main driving mechanism behind Atatürk’s behavior was his narcissistic personality organization. Their framework considered Mustafa’s birth, which occurred shortly after his elder brothers had passed away, and how his mother, presumably in a state of severe depression, could not provide adequate emotional care, which gave way to compensatory narcissistic tendencies in the child. For several decades, the hypothesis has remained unchallenged, and no serious review has yet been carried out. In this article, I argue that Mustafa Kemal was a highly intelligent and gifted child based on his well-developed verbal skills and his record as a high achiever at school. While considering the impact of adverse events in early childhood on cognitive development and personality, a review of historical texts revealed that his elder brothers died in 1883—not before Mustafa’s birth, as the authors had believed. Thus, no serious event appears to have taken place in his early years when rapid brain development is thought to occur. Since the central premise has lost its integrity to support the biography, Volkan and Itzkowitz’s hypothesis can no longer be regarded as tenable and viable.

“…On top of the three core executive functions, the brain builds higher-order executive functions, such as logical reasoning, problem solving, and task planning, with the three subcomponents being both independent and interrelated (7). Executive functions are essential skills for adolescents' healthy physical and mental development, success in school and life, and cognitive, social, and psychological development (8)(9)(10)(11)(12)(13)(14)(15)(16)(17)(18)(19). On the contrary, when children and adolescents have executive function deficits, such as attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and aggressive behaviors, it can cause heavy psychological and physical stress on the family (20, 21).…”

ObjectiveThis sought to explore the association between soybean product consumption and executive function (EF) in Chinese Tibetan adolescents in high-altitude areas.MethodsA total of 1,184 Tibetan children and adolescents were tested on demographic variables, soybean product consumption, and executive function in Lhasa and Nagchu regions of Tibet, China, using stratified whole population sampling. One-way ANOVA, linear regression analysis, and logistic regression analysis were used to analyze the associations existing between soybean product consumption and executive function.ResultsThe proportions of Hardly ever, Occasionally, and Often in Soy Consumption among Tibetan children and adolescents in high altitude areas of Tibet, China were 21.7, 50.3, and 28.0%, respectively. The difference in 2 back reaction time among Tibetan children and adolescents with different soybean product consumption was statistically significant (F = 6.374, p = 0.002). The difference in conversion function reaction time was also statistically significant (F = 8.129, p < 0.001). Taking the soybean product consumption ≥6 t/w group as the reference group, after adjusting the relevant factors, those with soybean product consumption ≤1 t/w showed a statistically significant increase in Inhibit Function Dysfunction (OR = 1.844, 95% CI: 1.152, 2.951) and Conversion Function Dysfunction (OR = 2.008, 95% CI: 1.106, 3.646) had an increased risk of Conversion Function Dysfunction (OR = 2.008, 95% CI: 1.106, 3.646), which was significantly different (p < 0.05).ConclusionThere is an association between soybean product consumption and inhibitory control and translational flexibility of brain executive functions in Chinese Tibetan children and children and adolescents at high altitude.

Narcissistic personality disorder (NPD) is a psychiatric disorder that remains largely undiagnosed in modern society. Theories claim that the roots of this disorder can often be traced back to childhood experiences and parenting styles. The prevalence of NPD in the general population is estimated to be significantly high, although rates may vary widely depending on the assessment method and population being considered as a significant portion of the population remains largely unaware of this disorder or though the patient is aware of his/her condition, the bad reputation for the illness demotivates him/her from seeking professional help. This is the main reason why it is difficult to know the real prevalence of these disorders that are so frequently encountered in psychiatric practice but still largely undiagnosed. This review collects and analyzes several research studies and literature reviews found in the electronic databases. The inclusion criteria prioritize studies focusing on the effect of overgratification on the development of NPD. Empirical evidence suggests a link between childhood overgratification and the development of narcissistic traits in adulthood. However, the relationship between childhood overgratification and NPD is much more complex and is deeply influenced by various factors, such as parent-child attachment, individual nature, and cultural context. This paper aims to simplify and illustrate the complex interplay between childhood overgratification and the manifestation of NPD, thereby revealing underlying mechanisms and identifying potential interventions for treatment. This article explores the intriguing correlation between NPD and overgratification during childhood, exploring how early indulgence may sow the seeds for narcissistic personality traits in adulthood.
